How to explain in less than 8 minutes what my (bad) bass teacher was never capable to do in 10 months! Thanks!.

You're amazing. No telling about your personal life, making jokes, useless intros and do this and that. Just straight to the point. Thank you so much

I'm a visual person with little musical talent but enjoy performing stuff with my bass. Whenever I'm thinking of basslines, I think 'em in patterns on my fretboard. So this was INCREDIBLY helpful.

This single handedly solved all my issues with chords scales and improv. All the theory stuff got my brand all twisted around itself but literally just watchjnf this video i was able to jam out and have a half decent sounding bass line for the first time ever.

Bless you, you are my saviour. The only thing holdinf me back now is drilling it into my muscle memory

The imrov on the 8th step was pretty cool.
But I think one more step could be included - Articulation. You can articulate the same notes in different ways. You could add hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides, slaps n pops, tapping, harmonics, ghost notes, etc. to make your improvisation sound even better using the same notes and rhythm. It also gives it character.

This is incredible. The visuals, how concise it is, everything. I feel so many bassist teachers are either show-y or shame you for what you don't know. Thank you so much
